I've always seen Green Street in this area of Pasadena but never tried it before. My friend LOVES green street so we decided to come here after our Pilates class ! This place gives off the same voibes as Urth cafe but maybe with less options ¿? I loved how they gave us complimentary zucchini bread -- KINDA TASTES LIKE BANANA BREAD OR PUMPKIN BREAD. I ordered the soup and my friend ordered the salad !!! The only con is they unfortunately do not validate parking here so you'd have to pay for parking :/ This is the perfect spot to get Sunday brunch w the gworls :)

I have been coming to Street Green St., Café for over 40 years. This is the absolute best salad in all the Pasadena. Ordered the Diane salad. It has been a constant delight could not live without this zucchini bread is outstanding. The service is good and the prices are very reasonable for the area, the patio is covered that shade and a great place to sit and enjoy your lunch

A friend and I came here after a spa morning and I was a bit skeptical. Immediately obvious this place is a tried and true local restaurant. Lots of hype about the Dianne salad. As a NJ resident for the better part of my life I will admit my jaded opinion before sitting down was an eye roll. This (not so little) salad was a game changer. Seems like it shouldn't be a big deal but every thing about it - every bite was memorable. Something so simple yet so flavorful. The sweet surprise was instead of bread, they offer zucchini bread! This is a family restaurant, I would compare this to a diner in New Jersey but not exactly. Look forward to returning. Unassuming restaurant that more than delivers.

Green Street was not a bad spot in Pasadena. Plenty of seating, good service. Food was a little underwhelming for the price, but not bad. Interior felt a little old. I ordered the steak and Dianne. Steak was ok, a lot salad. Zucchini bread was good. Honestly, I think this place was a solid 3.5, but rounded up since I thought a 3 did not do this place justice.

Green Street Restaurant in Pasadena, CA offers a delightful dining experience with generous portions. The Dianne Salad is a standout, bursting with crisp, fresh flavors. Their Zucchini bread is simply the best, a perfect blend of moistness and flavor. Don't miss the large and satisfying Rueben sandwich, which promises to satisfy any appetite. Given the ample servings, sharing appetizers, entrees, and salads is recommended for a truly satisfying meal.

I haven't been to Green Street restaurant for many years, and they have upgraded the decor inside, and the food is even better than it was the years I used to come and enjoy my dining. We had the pleasure of having Joey who was just amazing, amicable, and very attentive server, who knows the menu, which he recommended some great dishes that was very good!!the menu is so massive that it is so much to choose from from brunch, lunch, and dinner options. They have really good reasonable prices, and a lot of food that you can get with very good quality. Also, they have a nice bar area where you could sit, and they make some really good drinks and have a good wine collection for my drink. I tried the espresso martini and I had a glass of red wine called "decoy." That I am def a fan of now! This was a definitely a good time to have brunch on a Saturday with good customer service very clean inside and also a good atmosphere for small group celebrations or just if you want to come and sit at the bar to grab a drink . They have a parking garage to the left but you do have to pay for that parking lot . They also have a few handicap parking available out front. Overall, I would definitely be back here. This will be one of my new spots to come and have brunch and lunch. I do recommend, in lovely Pasadena and a classic for sure. -Marshay Dede

Casual restaurant that gives elevated diner vibes with the option to eat outside. We were greeted by the friendliest waiter and the service all around was great. The food was good. Nothing mind blowing or outside of the box, but a decent traditional breakfast. Now the mimosas..whew! I felt like we were given a double or something because my Mom and I were lit off of one glass each. Not complaining about that at all :)

Green Street Restaurant is a staple of Pasadena! We ordered the Dianne Salad - Luncheon version and the spicy shrimp tacos. This was way too much food for 2 people. The salad basically looked untouched when we took it home. The Dianne Salad is huge and delicious. I highly recommend getting a smaller side - either luncheon or small. The zucchini bread is also amazing. It came with the Salad - two total pieces. The shrimp tacos were also yummy. I asked for the salsa that went well with the tacos. We enjoyed all the food we ordered, but did notice it was a bit pricey - almost every dish, even the appetizers were $20+. There were only a handful of items under $15. Park across the street in the Susie cakes parking lot. It's free for 90 mins (vs the paid parking structure in the same plaza as the restaurant)

STILL A GREAT PLACE TO DINE ON LAKE AVENUE ======================================= My husband, nephew, nephew's fiance, my sister-in-law and I all met for lunch January 17, 2024 and everyone was happy with their meals. I usually order the Diane salad, but I felt like having a half sandwich with salad combo for a change. The tuna salad sandwich on rosemary bread was great and I enjoyed the salad with some beets. A couple in our group ordered the various salads and they loved those. They ordered half kale too which sounded good. I'll have to order that the next time. TIP: 1. Be careful when parking the structure. My husband paid for parking on the first floor before going up to his car and then the gate would not recognize that he had paid when he was exiting at the gate. I would recommend just paying at the gate. It may piss someone off behind you, but it's better then paying too much for parking. 2. If you want to get some exercise just two blocks south at the Macy's complex. Parking is free and you'll get some steps in.
